[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes op you are a huge AH. Do you want her to work u til she dies? She’s 69! [/quote]

Op here. She only worked for about 20 years, is super healthy, looks to be in her 50s, and could easily get a (desk) job in her field making 100K. She just doesn’t want to work anymore but didn’t save enough to live on. I’ve been working longer than she has in my mid forties. [/quote]

She didn't save for old age because she was making sacrifices for her son.

You are a galactically huge AH.[/quote]

No, she actually made a series of poor financial choices including multiple divorces, repeated custody battles, and staying at home for 20 years and not working. [/quote]

Because taking care of kids and a home is “not working.” Got it.

Do any of her children actually need a 20-year full-time SAHM? Sorry but lots of women work at least part-time after the children enter school. Do you know why? Oh right, for retirement security! And to avoid being a burden on those very same children. Sounds crazy I know, but I would much rather my mom worked at least part-time than be in this situation as an adult child.[/quote]
